Abstract
Computer vision technology is being developed by ESA to support the navigation and autonomous landing of spacecraft on a planet's surface. A computer vision system is used to navigate the lander relative to the planet's surface and to detect any obstacles close to the target landing site. The computer vision system will be supported by other Guidance and Navigation Control (GNC) sensors. This paper provides a review of GNC sensors for possible use on a planetary lander in support of a primary vision-based sensor, it also describes how those sensors will be simulated.
